Ok then,since you're so deadset on the helmet being the same,what about the shoulders? They sure look like they have alot more layers the the regular ones do. Also if the top of his helmet bent along with the prongs,why is the middle prong straight?(And I'm not saying its his new form,I'm just saying its different)

It's clear that it is. Have you ever held up a glass or spoon or a kettle? It can take one small detail and stretch it out. That's how reflections work.

Again, look at the bike. Apparently his new form is a midget with super long legs riding the tallest bike in the world.

I am ENTIRELY convinced that it is most certainly a new helmet. And for the life of me I can't understand why you don't think it is. The entire reflection has some distortion yes, but that helmet cannot possibly be the result of the normal helmet being reflected or anything else. It isn't going to bend the two ends of the crest up at equal angles and extend the center point up to nearly the same length and create that raised peak on top of his helmet too. He's clearly wearing a very Kabuto esque helmet:



Looking at the image it's clear that the line of distortion ends jsut under his visor:



This is completely intentional. The character and setting are based on the Sengoku period anyway. That combined with what is clearly an image of a new helmet more than prove what this is. Why do you choose to fight something as obvious as this? I'm not just making this stuff up man. There's some hard evidence here.

You image just showed my point even clearer. It's perfectly visible the distortion on the crest.

But the real nail in your arguement is simply a matter of perspectives. If, and if, this is a new helmet, then why do these new additions stretched straight up, when Gaim himself is being viewed at an angle?

It's so obvious it's just reflection, I'm literally baffled you can't tell. Also, there's just a matter of logic. Rider form changes are always different, and Giam has more intricate suits than ever. Why would this new suit have the helmet be indentical except for a new crest?

I'm really sorry dude, but you're just plum out of luck here. There's no new helmet, it's SO obvious.

That's because those aren't just his shoulders, there his entire arms. His arms are bent, holding the handle bars. The gold trimming is his inner shoulder scallops and his wrist bands.

Because like I said, it's being stretched.

I mean seriously, look at the photo I posted. The crest is identical except for these new additions that are quite clearly just reflections.

Ryuki was right, mirrors are serious business. :P

I could see it going both ways, if the reflection is indeed a new form, then that's excellent foreshadowing, fits the mirror motif in the show.
But to me it simply looks like a distorted Gaim.

[xSkullheartx]

What I'm saying is that now that we have a zoomed in look,why are the left and right forks of the trident the same length? Also why is the center spike straight up and down? If those are parts (the forks and helmet top) are distorted due to the reflection,shouldn't the middle spike also be? Also his legs and arm look like they have more armor on them.That cant be distortion seeing as how there in no armor on his legs and arms,just the shoulders.

[GodzillaFanatic]

Yeah I'm inclined to agree with Split here. It looks to me like a distorted head crest more than anything.

Ah well. Time will tell.

Ditto.

But it is. I don't know what you're saying. The crest is lined up so that all points are in a straight line, thus why it's so thin.

What I'm saying is that the top of the left and right spikes,the curve.The middle one doesn't.It should if it's distorted.The middle spike,at it's peak,should curve a little.It should flow with the others,but isn't.Also the arms and legs.Again,I'm not saying who is right and wrong.I'm just trying to eliminate certain things if I see them.I don't think this is a new form just because it looks too similar to the original form,but I do think it's different.

It is, though. It's not a perfect straight line, it's wavy and wobbly.

Also, unlike the tips of the crest, it isn't curved to begin with. It's a triangle point, stretched upwards, rather than two slopes.
